North Rothbury Ellalong

North Rothbury and Ellalong (L) are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. North Rothbury is a high-turnover area where 75.2% of residents moved in during the last five years, and it is far more likely to be rented (37.9% compared to 14.4% in Ellalong (L)). It is also a wealthier area, with a typical household income of $2,210 per week and a much higher share of residents who finished Year 12 (50.5% versus 32.8%). Ellalong (L) has more established stability, with 30.5% of homes owned outright and a typical resident who is slightly older at 34.

The gap in new arrivals has widened sharply since 2011, with North Rothbury becoming much more transient. Despite this, the two areas share some everyday realities, such as nearly identical rates of people living alone and similar levels of unpaid housework. They are also effectively alike in their lack of public transport use for commuting and the fact that no homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services.
